Hello, I have recently put together a MySQL installation procedure which might be useful for what you are trying to do. My procedure is based upon Redhat Linux 9, but I suspect that it should work just as well for Mandrake. In section 3.3, you would need to add your specific configuration options to the ./configure line. You can find the procedure here:

I am running Mandrake 9.1 with 98 mb RAM. I recently downloaded and installed the RPMs for glibc 3.2.2 and openssl 0.9.7a. My objective is to first make the MySQL database server as secure as it can be and installing openssl is my first step. In order to do this, I have chosen to follow the mysql website's instructions at www.mysql.com/doc/en/Secure_requirements.html I am currently stuck on step two where it says to "Configure MySQL with --with-vio --with-openssl. " Now, as I said I have not done any command line script execution so this is a little tricky for me. I have attempted to execute the command "./configure --with-vio --with-openssl" from many different command prompts and the result has been unsuccessful. I did some checking and there is an executable file named "binary-configure" in the /usr/share/mysql directory on my system. I also don't see a "configure" script when I look for one. Is this possible? Any help apreciated. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
